He’s played a starship captain and starred in copious theatrical roles, but the latest character that Patrick Stewart is taking on is undoubtedly one-of-a-kind. Having previously ruffled his own comedic feathers with a narration in the Ted movies, Stewart is now moving to the animated world as he stars in The Emoji Movie as Poop.

Stewart joins the likes of T.J. Miller, James Corden and Anna Faris as this year’s biggest animation arrives in UK cinemas on 4th August.

You can meet Patrick Stewart’s Poop in the video below.

The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Anna Faris). Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.
